Young Carers

Some children  have a lot to do at home helping a parent, brother or sister who is ill or disabled. Sometimes, this may feel like a great deal to cope with.

Please let us know if  there is a young carer in your family, or if you are young carer. We support Stafford Leys pupils and families in any and all ways that we can and if we can help, or can put you in touch with people who can help, we will.
